Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

An Arm Lift, or Brachioplasty, is most commonly performed on persons who have a large amount of redundant skin and fat extending from the armpit to the elbow. Unattractive, sagging upper arms can occur due to aging, genetics, or weight loss. While in mild cases, liposuction alone may be sufficient, more severe cases will require an Arm Lift to obtain sufficient improvement. When liposuction and an arm lift are performed at the same time, a nice contour of the arm can be achieved.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE?

Anyone who has heavy arms with loose skin is a likely candidate for an Arm Lift. Generally, men and women who are interested in this procedure have either lost a significant amount of weight, resulting in excess or stretched skin, or have a genetic predisposition for excessive skin and fat in this location.
